DSP delivers up to 800 MMACs at less than 1W

[Summary of tips] Deploying sensor in applications is charting a trend that moves away from gathering and processing the sensor information at a central location, and towards augmentation with a local digital signal processor (DSP). EE Times' Clive Maxfield identifies a DSP chip that facilitates this performance enhancement.In many respects, we ......

What is a sensor?
A device that receives and responds to a stimulus or signal. Sensors measure real-world conditions, such as heat or light, and then converts this condition into analog or digital representation.

What is a DSP?
Digital signal processing; The study of signals in a digital representation and the processing methods of these signals;
Digital signal processor; A specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time.
